wood turning - mix your scraps for beautiful projects

Be creative with your free scrap wood. In this woodturning video I am using firewood, scrap 2x4, and a 2x2 for one project. This is a creative way to use up your scrap wood and it makes a cool project. This wood turning project is a small box.
I hope this gives you creative ideas for free scrap wood.
Thanks for watching!

What a lovely piece. It’s different and I like different 🌞

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you Ray

[@Danseadorf]

I like it Rus, keep the great ideas coming. I got a sugar plum burl today at my son's place. Can't wait for it to dry a little.

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks Dan. Waiting is one of the hardest things. Make sure you seal it. Fruit wood loves to crack.

[@Danseadorf]

I'll remember that, thanks.👍

Nicely done

Very nice. Big fan of your work.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

Thanks for all the helpful videos. New to wood turning, I'm using carbide, stayed with your 2x4 idea, I seem to have significant tear out. Any ideas wood be appreciated.

[@RcWoodturning]

I don't use carbide. The only suggestion with carbide is try tipping the blade about 45 degrees for more of a sheer cut. You could also coat the wood with a finishing oil. That will soften the fibers and cut down on tearout. Good luck.

Thank you

Great ideas without spending a fortune on turning blanks. I really enjoy your videos. Congratulations on your craft show successes. I have to ask. What chuck and jaws did you use. Thanks again. Jon.

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you Jonathan! The silver chuck is a Nova. I got the aniversary edition. It came with 3 sets of jaws. The black one is a wen chuck. Very inexpensive and works great. Thanks for watching!

[@jonathanflynn9467]

Sorry to bother you again Russ. What brand is the deep serrated jaws on the nova or is it a wen. I can't seem to find it except Vicmark. I'm a poor retired SENILE CITIZEN. Thanks again Jon F.

[@RcWoodturning]

@@jonathanflynn9467 Are you talking about the silver chuck with the pin jaws?

[@jonathanflynn9467]

@@RcWoodturning Not the pin jaws. The ones with the grooves inside and outside. ???? Shark jaws ??

[@RcWoodturning]

@@jonathanflynn9467 That's a smaller wen chuck. I got the jaws seperate. I'll have to look into it. Don't remember the model.

[@gazzawhitman1496]

What gauge do you use for most of the work & what oil finish as I’m fairly new to the wood turning Cheers 👍👍

[@RcWoodturning]

I use a 1/2 inch bowl gouge and friction polish for finish.

[@EdRaastad-rj6mi]

Really nice but why not start with a smaller blank?

[@RcWoodturning]

This is what I had. But you definitely could.
